[00:00.00]Eavesdropper's Blues - Bessie Smith
[00:19.58]I heard the folks were talking here yesterday
[00:26.71]As I listened by the door
[00:32.20]Would eavesdrop 'cause they never hear no good they say
[00:38.27]And I heard things that hurt me so
[00:44.45]They said I had a man I give my money to
[00:56.77]They said I had a man I give my money to
[01:08.64]And if I was broke he would turn my eyes all blue
[01:21.06]They talked about my pa who was blind in one eye
[01:33.38]They talked about my pa who was blind in one eye
[01:45.56]They said he was a sinner and was too mean to cry
[01:57.63]I never knock nobody wonder why they picked on me
[02:09.76]I never knock nobody wonder why they picked on me
[02:21.87]There's goin' to be a funeral if they don't let me be
[02:33.47]I never stopped to listen to try and hear no good news
[02:45.15]I never stopped to listen to try and hear no good news
[02:56.86]I hear things about me give me those eavesdropper's blues
